Seth J. Putterman (born December 18, 1945) is an American physicist. He is known to have an eclectic approach to research topics that broadly revolves around energy-focusing phenomena in nonlinear, continuous systems, with particular interest in turbulence, sonoluminescence,[1] sonofusion and pyrofusion.[2][3]
